What I am wondering is..Is it normal for Kassidy to get strangled when eating? It has been 6 years since I breastfed Kyleigh and can't remember if it is normal..It seems worse when she is feeding from the right side..I mean she has a cold, so I didn't know if that was making it worse or if it is just normal anyway..BTW,she is doing very well with it and gaining weight..she had gained 2 1/2 oz in a day.. and is up past her birth weight of 7 lbs 11 oz.. she weighed 7 lbs 13 oz yesterday..LOL..so she gained 6 1/2 oz in 5 days..

Waylon did that due to forceful letdown. I would just let him start nursing, then he'd usually back off when he started getting choked, so I'd take that opportunity to let it squirt into a burp cloth until it let up some. I also let him lay on my chest to eat sometimes, too; it really does help. I hope she gets to feeling better soon -- I hate to see babies sick!

It's probably a combination of the letdown and the cold. Your right side must have more of a forceful letdown. I agree with the others, I would try different positions and if that does't work then just release her and squirt some off when feel your letdown.
